(music fades)

BRENDA: It's the greatest video in the history of videos.

KELLY: Yeah, just great.

Kelly, which one's your favorite?

I don't know which is which.

Oh, well, that one's Bryan.

I like him the best.

Oh, no, maybe Mark. He's cuter.

No, no, Bryan.

I think Ringo's the cutest.

God, I was into Color Me Badd

before anyone even heard of them.

Yeah, you and 10,000 other people.

Are you getting their concert on pay-per-view tomorrow night?

Oh, even better.

Let's go down to Whiskey and sit in the audience.

Donna, those things are by invitation only.

But they're giving away free passes on the radio.

Donna, that is definitely a long shot.

Come on, you got skydiving lessons on the radio.

Don't remind me.

So, somebody must know someone.

Look, it's no biggie.

Since you like them so much,

I'll call down to the club and ask them to comp us.

You can get us in free?

Yeah, right. (chuckles)

I'm a DJ.

They rub my back; I rub theirs.

David, please, I'm trying to eat.

(over radio): We're looking for caller #27...

So dial now and then hang up,

and then when you hear the signal, you press redial,

and we're already ahead of the game.

Bren, you are a genius.

Kelly, come on. Get the phone ready!

You guys, the concert'll be on TV tonight.

Why don't we just watch it at home?

This is such a big waste.

Of what? Your precious time?

Donna, I'm going to another one of those

marathon planning meetings for the hospital charity.

Okay.

For all I know it could go well into the night, so, uh...

Right, okay, that's fine.

I'm sleeping at Brenda's.

Well, if your father calls from the Houston conference,

would you tell him...

I know, that you'll be late.

(girls shrieking)

Redial!

Donna...

What do I do? Redial. Redial.

Oh, I'm not getting through!

Donna, I'm speaking to you.

Mom, I'm sorry, but we're trying to win passes tonight

for the concert at the Whiskey.

I don't want you hanging around

the Sunset Strip on a Saturday night.

Don't you think that's a little seedy?

I don't know.

Well, of course it is.

I've gotta go. Bye, girls.

(over radio): Hello? You've just won...

(sighs): Forget about it, Kelly.

They just gave away the last set of passes.

Sorry.

Thanks a lot, Mom.

Ryan will just be lost without you.

Bryan.

I know his name, Donna.

(giggling)

Do this long enough, we'll qualify as legally dead.

Come on, Dylan.

Can't you find something for us to do?

Uh... here.

Ad for liposuction. Any takers?

Keep reading.

Well, guys, we're off.

Oh, where are you going on this fine sunny day?

Oh, we're going to the museum for a lecture

on Shaker furniture, followed by a authentic Shaker lunch.

Followed by an afternoon of Shaker music.

Want to come?

Now, Jim...

Have fun, Dad.

So what do you suppose the babes are doing anyway?

Oh, whatever babe-like things babes do

on a rainy day.

Probably talking about us.

Ah, dream on.

Let's do something we can't do when they're around.

What? Burp, swear, spit?

No, no. Let's take an adventure.

Let's, uh, let's go on a road trip.

Come on, three guys on the open road.

Fast food, good tunes, hmm?

Vegas? Vegas.

In the pouring rain? No, thanks.

It floods there.

Okay, all right. Look right here.

An ad for massage services.

Is this legit?

Easy, tiger. Whoa.

I don't think that's what we're looking for.

Wait a second.

I saw an ad for strippers, too.

Steve, what's the big deal?

It's a naked lady. Have you never seen one?

Hey, seeing a genuine exotic dancer

is a milestone for a young man, okay?

Thank you, Dr. Expert.

I happen to have gone

to two of my cousins' bachelor parties this year,

and they were all world, I might add.

Oh, I guess that makes you

a veritable Rob Lowe, doesn't it?

Let's just see... No, no...

Here we go. "Brandy."

(sniffs)

Ah, Brandy.

Brandy-- sounds like an Irish Setter.

Let's hope she's not.

Hello. Brandy?

Uh, yeah...

My name is Steve Sanders.

I'm here with a few friends of mine and, uh, well,

I was wondering if...

So, the new guy, Tommy Yasko...

He's with Lauren. Total dork.

Yeah, but Lauren is really cute.

Do you think Andy's cute?

He's okay. Kinda.

Hey, guys. What's the haps?

How did you get in here?

The housekeeper let me in.

Donna, you're gonna have to talk to her.

I am about to give you the gift of a lifetime.

Color Me Badd is staying at the Bel Age Hotel.

Really? Yeah.

Their manager is a patient of my dad's.

He told me where they're staying.

So, what, we're just supposed to go over there

and hang out with them?

Exactly.

Sounds like a plan to me.

I don't believe you.

Kelly, what else do you have to do today?

Help your mother pick out a wedding dress?

Okay. I'll go.

But I'm gonna go home and change first.

What do you care?

You didn't even like the band.

Well, at least I don't have to clear it with my mom

before I can go to a hotel on the Strip.

My mother doesn't run my life.

And we have to do this.

Besides, David's got an in.

DAVID: What are all these people doing here?

I guess they also have an in.

Well, I guess that blows that.

No, Donna! Look!

Oh, my God!

(screaming, shrieking)

MAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are you going?

Uh, in there?

Hotel's for registered guests only.

Uh, yes. We-We know that.

And in which room are you registered?

(chuckles): Uh...

would you excuse us for a minute, please?

Sure.

Uh, let's just forget about this.

Why?

This is humiliating.

Who really cares?

David, I don't think this is gonna work.

Wait a second. Wait a second.

Did I not know where they were?

Yes, you and the population of the Sherman Oaks Galleria.

David, thanks for trying.

I know you're doing this for me,

but it's not going to work.

Oh, yeah?

Wait right here.

Hey... oh.

Fine.

(grunts)

Sanders, what are you doing?

Just clearing a little space here so Brandy can work.

Do you mind? She's gonna be here any minute.

Man, you know, you are some piece of work.

You know that?

Yeah, yeah. So why are you here?

Well, I figure if you guys feel

we really need to see this one, I should be here for you.

But you won't enjoy it at all.

Hey, I am a human male.

Really? Brenda will be excited about that.

What's the problem?

I don't know, you know?

This is my parents' house.

She's supposed to do her thing right here

where my mom aerobicizes.

(doorbell chimes)

She's here. She's here!

What do I do?

Answer the door.

What do I say?

I hear "hello" is really popular.

Hell... oh.

Brandon! Hi!

Andrea!

What are you doing here?

Is Zuckerman moonlighting? Nah...

I got this whole grab bag of ideas for the paper

and I knew today would be a perfect day to brainstorm

since it's storming outside, get it?

(laughs)

Hi, guys.

Here.

Now there is a fashion "don't."

And that guard over there

is giving us the world's hairiest eyeball.

Really, you guys, let's just go.

You know, David's probably in there

getting arrested right now.

Do you think so?

(David clears throat)

One for you, one for you, and one for you.

We're in.

Oh, it's so easy.

You just look them straight in the eye

and you tell them you want a suite with a view.

And ask if there's any special rates that apply.

BRENDA: Don't you have to be 21?

If your plastic is good, you're in.

(elevator opens)

Oh, my God.

Mom!

Donna, what are you doing here?

David has a room here.

What?

I mean, David and his father have a room here.

You see, their-their... their house is being fumigated,

so they, uh, they checked into the hotel for the night.

And that's why they have a room here.

Just me and Dad.

Oh. Aren't you supposed to be

at some charity thing or something?

I am. It's here.

We just broke for lunch.

Oh, well, we're just picking up David.

And here he is.

Uh, but I forgot something, so I've got to go get it.

The thing.

Right, and then we're leaving.

Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Right. Bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

Wow.

(over phone): Hi, this is Brandy.

I'm not home right now, but...

Damn it. She's on her way.

Have you ever been to the Tar Pits Museum, Andrea?

It's really a great place.

A lot of people spend their whole lives in L.A. and never go.

It's very interesting.

Good thing to do on a rainy day.

Kind of thing you can really enjoy on your own.

I know.

I've been many times.

But have you been there recently?

(laughs)

Whoa, whoa, where are you going?

To the kitchen for water.

Is... that okay?

Yeah, sure.

I was just kidding around.

Can't she tell that we're busy here?

Okay, Steve, you tell her that she has to leave

because any minute now, you're expecting a strange woman

to come in here and get naked to music?

She'll understand.

Yeah, she'll probably write a four-part series about it.

(laughing): Guys, this is serious.

(doorbell rings)

Hi, I'm Brandy.

Hi, I'm Andrea.

So are you ready to rock and roll?

Ah, Andrea, this is Brandy.

Brandy, this is Andrea.

We know. We know.

Brandy is, uh, Brandy is, uh...

Cindy's knees-- niece.

BRANDON: Yes, yes, very, very uh, distant niece.

Oh. I'm glad to meet you.

So are you from Minneapolis?

Well, uh...

Sure, originally.

Yeah.

Can I take your coat?

No! No!

BRANDON: Yeah, sure, it's fine.

So, uh, what brings you here?

Well, let's go in the living room.

Brandy came to help me with my, uh...

genealogy report.

See, she came over here to tell me about...

DAVID: Kelly, what are you doing?

Well, what do you think?

Is it me?

Don't take that.

They charge you for everything here.

$25 for egg rolls?

They must be absolutely amazing egg rolls.

Come on, guys. Let's focus here.

Now, this is base camp.

If any of us get separated, we meet back up here.

I don't think this is such a good idea anymore.

Donna, your mom's meeting is not in this room.

But if she finds out I lied to her, she'll kill me.

You always say that.

Why don't you just let her kill you and get it over with?

(sighs) (phone dialing)

BRENDA: Hi, Bryan Abrams, please.

He's in Color Me Badd.

WOMAN: I'm sorry. I have no listing for that name.

Are you sure?

Yes, I am. Thank you.

Thank you.

There's nobody registered under that name.

Come on, Brenda, we have to be smart about this.

They always register under aliases.

We know the manager is staying here,

and he'll be on the same floor as the band.

And he won't be under a fake name.

Exactly.

WOMAN: Front desk.

Yes, could you please tell me what room, uh,

Freddy Kramer is in, please?

I can't give you the room number, but I will connect you.

Okay.

Um, they can't give me the room number,

but she's going to ring me through.

What are you going to say?

MAN: Yeah, what do you want?

Uh... Freddy?

Uh, hi. Listen.

(dial tone)

Like this, huh?

Look, I just said my dad does his gum work, okay?

Now, we're gonna have to do some detective work.

Probably in the lobby.

My mother might be there.

So what? You'll think of some excuse.

We'll be your lookouts, right, Kel?

Yeah.

All right, let's go.

(mouthing)

♪ ♪

(elevator bell dings)

(door sliding)

Penthouse level, here we come.

What are we gonna say?

Well, I'm gonna ask them what their favorite color is.

Their favorite color is "Badd," of course.

Guys, you don't ask them that.

You tell them something smart about their music,

and then they respect you.

Why aren't we moving?

It's locked.

(laughing, sighing)

Come on, guys. Don't give up so easily.

We've just begun the fight.

We still have a plan B.

What's plan B?

Plan B is... to think of a plan B.

(gasps)

(giggles) This is sort of fun.

Shh.

(elevator bell dings)

It's locked.

Let's try the back stairs.

Uh-uh, Kelly, don't even think about it.

(squeals) Kelly, you can't.

Watch me.

(keys jingling, button tone sounds)

Oh.

What about David and Brenda?

Oh, they'll be fine.

Kelly, we could get arrested.

I'm getting out.

Donna, come...

You don't even like Color Me Badd.

Well, I do now.

Donna? Kelly?

David. They'll catch up.

(both panting)

Locked.

David Silver, this is a wild goose chase.

We're locked in here, and we lost Donna and Kelly.

They're right in here.

We're just back in the basement.

Trust me.

And the door's unlocked.

Yeah.

David! The door!

(Brenda screams)

WOMAN: I am ready for dessert.

How about you? Mm-hmm.

Oh, you.

Yes.

(laughing)

(sniffles)

(line ringing)

Hi. Uh, Dr. John Martin, please.

He's at the medical conference.

Could you have him call Donna, his daughter.

My number?

Uh, 310-KL5-5600.

Uh, room 612.

And can you tell him it's very important.

Thank you.

(sobbing)

I think she likes me.

Yeah, I can see why.

You're one big ball of charm.

We've got to get Andrea out of there.

Yeah, before they bond for life.

So, what are you studying at UCLA?

Well, I'm going for my master's in social work,

but it's taking me a while.

I can only go part-time

because I have a five-year-old to raise and to support.

How in the world do you make ends meet?

Oh, you'd be surprised.

(all laughing)

I do a lot of office temp work.

And actually, I work a lot of parties.

You know, party planning, event coordinating,

that sort of thing.

Sounds like fun.

It's a living.

(chattering)

So, whose are you?

No one's.

Whose are you?

Nobody's... yet.

Which one are you interested in?

Doesn't matter.

Any of them, all of them.

I don't get it.

What do you want from them?

You know, to party.

Oh. How do you know they want to party with you?

Most of the bands do.

What the hell? It's worth a try, right?

Well, different strokes.

Oh, and what are you doing here?

You don't exactly look like their accountant

or nothing to me.

No, I'm not a groupie or anything.

See, me and my friends thought it would be fun

to see if we could get in here,

meet the band.

Then what?

That's all.

Different strokes.

Cool it, girlfriend; there's a cop.

(clattering) Damn.

This crazy machine won't take my money.

Here, try a crisp one.

Oh, yeah.

You're welcome. Hello.

Oh. I'm sorry. What am I thinking?

I guess you're not the money lady, huh?

No, I don't think so. I'm Kelly Taylor.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Kelly; I'm Bryan Abrams.

Thanks a lot.

Oh... Oh. Oh, my God.

(giggling)

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

You know we have people to do things for you.

Where's my runner?!

You know what? I'm gonna can his butt.

Freddy, really, you know, I like to get my own soda

once in a while.

Oh, it's all right? Yeah.

Okay.

All right, thanks.

Hey, um... I was thinking you might like a pass.

You can come check out the show later on?

Oh, no, I couldn't, really.

Aw, come on.

Well, I have three friends.

Could I get four?

Okay, you talked me into it.

Come on.

I'll get you as many as you need.

You know what? I got three friends too.

Really? Yeah.

Really? Mm-hmm.

You know, David, why can't you just admit that maybe

you don't know everything there is to know

about hotels and bands! Oh, come on!

I never said I knew everything.

But, look, if you're so smart,

why'd you let the door close behind you?

Oh, I suppose I'm to blame for getting us

locked out in the rain!

Oh, come on. Where's Kelly?

Uh, last time I saw her,

she was in the elevator on her way up to see the band.

For real?

We've got to catch up with that girl.

Wait a minute.

I-I mean, you're tired and you're soaked

and you must really want to leave, right?

Donna, there's towels and there's a hair dryer.

I mean, look at us.

If we quit now,

we're pretty pathetic.

It just seems so impossible.

Come on, Donna, you're dying to meet this band.

We already know they're here.

Look, I'm gonna make this happen for you.

You can't give up so easily.

Yeah, thanks.

You know, seeing you here

reminds me of the time we met Bon Jovi.

Yeah, we know what it's like to be fans.

Oh, I'm not really that big of a fan.

Thanks a lot!

No, no, no, I mean,

I think you guys are great.

Yeah. Really, I mean it.

I'm not some, like, totally weird groupie fan.

You know, the kind who...

I don't know.

The kind who sneaks into hotels maybe?

(chuckles) KELLY: Exactly.

So what's it like

to have fans?

Honestly?

I love it personally, but, um, I don't know.

What you think?

It's amazing. Scary.

Well, I mean, don't get me wrong, because, you know,

we definitely love meeting our fans.

It's just when a large crowd of people come at you

at one time, you know, it can get kind of confusing.

But we're not complaining or anything.

I mean, that's what we've always wanted, so...

Sometimes, it's just easier to stay up here, you know?

Yeah, yeah, what he said.

(chuckles)

So is it true what they say, you guys can't even

go to a mall anymore without getting mobbed?

Sad but true.

Well, don't worry.

I am personally sick of malls.

Really? (chuckles)

I kind of miss it.

You know, maybe Kelly got trapped somewhere, too.

We should probably go look for her.

Come on. She probably just got bored and did something else.

I mean, we dragged her into this, and she's right.

Who really cares? I don't need to...

Donna, I can't believe this.

Just because you're afraid of running into your mother

at some stupid charity meeting...

Look, I know you guys are doing this all for me, which is fine--

thanks a lot-- but if this is all for me,

don't I get to say when I don't want to do it anymore?

God, you guys are driving me crazy!

Donna, we just thought that you...

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Hi, Dad.

Uh, no.

It, uh, it wasn't real important.

I, uh, I-I just called to say hi.

So, hi.

Oh, well, uh, David and his father checked in,

so we came to hang by the pool,

but it's, uh, it's raining.

Yeah, I'm sure.

I love you, too, Dad.

Bye.

(sniffles)

Donna, what's wrong?

What's wrong?

My mother is having an affair.

BRANDY: Anyway,

apart from having my little boy,

the Peace Corps was the most fantastic

experience of my life.

And it's where I met my husband.

Your husband?

Mmm.

George, the father of my son.

George. Mm-hmm.

He's working on his first novel.

For three years.

So I'm supporting him, too.

The book is called The Zen of Surfing.

Are you serious?

I know, it sounds really flaky, doesn't it?

No! Surfing is Zen.

It's pure meditation.

I'd love to read that book.

Well, I wish everyone could.

Maybe someday.

Have faith.

Look, I got to go.

I, uh...

I really liked meeting you.

I really enjoyed meeting you, too, Andrea.

I'd, uh, love to talk to you again.

Brandon, you have her number?

I know where to get it.

Great.

Uh, I'll show myself out.

See ya.

Bye-bye. Bye.

Bye, guys. Later.

Bye, Andrea. Take care.

Now, are we ready to rock and roll?

Don't worry. It doesn't embarrass me or anything.

Yeah, I know, but...

I just kind of feel weird about it now.

Bad timing, huh?

Yeah.

What do you say, Steve?

Let's pay up, call it a day.

(chuckles)

All right, I guess you guys are right.

No offense, but...

I guess it would be

kind of bizarre to see you naked now.

Now that we know you so well.

But, uh... thanks.

(chuckles)

Hi.

Hello.

Hi, I'm Brandy.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Cindy's cousin.

Oh.

Sorry, got to run. See ya.

Bye.

Yeah, it is... it is getting late.

I... I'm gonna run, too.

Bye, bud.

DYLAN: I'm leaving.

See ya.

Later.

Uh... Cindy's cousin?

Different Cindy.

Cindy... Sanders.

Steve's cousin, Cindy Sanders.

Cindy Sanders. (chuckles)

How was the Shaker thing?

Oh, it was really interesting.

But if Brandy is Steve's cousin's cousin,

wouldn't she be Steve's cousin?

Well, you know, California families.

Divorce, remarriage-- who knows?

(chuckles)

My thoughts exactly.

♪ 'Tis a gift to be simple ♪

♪ 'Tis a gift to be... ♪

Are you sure that it's not just a misunderstanding?

I mean, the thought of your mom...

It just doesn't compute.

Yeah, I mean, maybe it was just a friendly kiss.

You might have seen it out of context.

I know what I saw.

Well, you can't jump to any conclusions

until you talk to your mom.

What's gonna happen now?

What's gonna happen when my dad finds out?

My whole life is gonna change now.

But, Donna, maybe your life won't change.

I mean, maybe your dad already knows.

He and your mom could have

some sort of arrangement.

How can you say that?

Because it happens all the time.

Practically every kid at West Beverly has the same story.

Well, I don't care about every kid at West Beverly.

Donna, David was just trying to make it easier.

I'm sorry.

Look, you guys, this just isn't working.

I have to get out of here. Stay.

No, we're going with you.

Brenda Walsh?

Uh, that's me.

There's a call for you over here.

Thanks.

Hello.

I'm with the band.

And they're the coolest guys.

And guess what?

I got us all passes for tonight's show.

Way to go, Kelly.

I can't believe you actually did it.

Um, I don't think we're gonna be able to go.

What do you mean? We're in the front row.

Donna saw her mother with another man.

Oh, my God.

I'll... I'll be right down.

No, it's okay. We're just gonna take her back to my house.

Bren, I want to be with her.

Kelly, go to the concert.

She'd kill you if you didn't go and report back all the details.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I don't think she's ready

to talk about all this yet anyway.

Look, I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

We'll catch her later.

Do you want to come get the car with me?

Thanks. I'm all right.

We're out of here.

David, thank you.

FELICE: Donna.

Mrs. Martin, we were just leaving.

It's all right.

I'll meet you outside, okay?

I thought you were going home hours ago.

How was your charity meeting?

I've been up to my ears in committees and budgets and...

I asked you a question.

What are you doing here?

No, Mother, what are you doing here?

I saw you.

Yes, on my lunch break.

No.

Room 622.

I saw you, Mom.

I don't know what you saw...

You were laughing, and then you were kissing.

It was in the hallway!

I don't think this is the time or the place.

Are you?

Are you having an affair?

Are you?!

Donna, I will not let you speak to me this way.

Then just answer me.

Are you, Mom?

JIM: Hey, hey, hey, that's my side.

All's fair in love and puzzles.

Oh, hi, girls. Hey.

Oh, Donna, your mother called

looking for you while you were gone.

Shouldn't even have told her I was sleeping over here.

Why? What's wrong?

Can I tell her?

Why not?

Everyone's gonna know soon enough.

Donna had kind of a weird thing happen to her today.

She saw...

I mean, that is...

My mother is having an affair.

Oh, my God.

Wait, are you sure?

Can't believe I was so stupid.

I actually thought that I had a family.

Donna, you do have a family. It's just...

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry.

Well, you don't have to...

you don't have to figure this all out right now.

When will I?

Aren't I entitled to know how long this has been going on,

if my parents are getting a divorce,

who my mother's seeing?

Why can't everything just be the way it was?

Look at you guys.

Your family never changes.

(doorbell ringing)

Oh, excuse me.

Sure, it changes.

Hi. Is Donna here?

Yes. Come right in.

I've been expecting her for several hours.

She hasn't checked in.

Oh, there you are.

You know how I worry about you.

Excuse me.

Donna, let's go home.

Does Dad know?

We'll discuss this when we get home.

Fine, I'll ask him myself.

No, you won't.

Look, Donna, things happen in a marriage

that are hard to understand.

You want me to understand?

I understand you.

I understand what a hypocrite you are!

Donna...

Like when the whole condom issue came up,

weren't you the one who went on and on about abstinence?!

God, you wouldn't even let me go to a concert tonight

because, because it was what, why'd you say, too seedy?

Donna, do not raise your voice at me.

DONNA: Why?

God forbid, someone might think that I'm angry!

You care more about appearances, Mom, than how anyone feels.

Well, I'm angry

and I'm not going to hide it for appearances' sake.

All right, Donna!

I am not gonna speak to you until you calm down.

Fine, then don't!

Just go!

And I hope you and your boyfriend

have a wonderful life...

Felice.

(sobbing)

I just can't deal with her anymore!

Cindy...

It's okay.

Uh! It's one of those, you know,

mother-daughter tensions.

It's that age.

Shall I tell her she can stay here for a while,

just until things calm down?

You're very sweet.

It's really, it's just one

of those mother-daughter things.

Tell me about it.

Uh, you'll call if...

Yeah, I'll call.

Thank you.

Oh, Donna... mm.

Look, I'm not going

to pretend I know how you feel,

but there is something I know so strongly.

And you're just gonna have

to trust me on this because I'm a mother.

What is it?

Your mother loves you.

But...

Wait a minute. Just listen.

Whatever she may have done in her own life

has nothing to do with her love for you.

How can that be?

Until you become a mother,

you may not understand this,

but the most important thing in your life

is the love between you and your children.

Then why can't she prove it by keeping our family together?

Keeping a marriage in perfect balance,

it's like, it's like walking a tightrope.

Anybody can slip.

You never slip.

Oh, Donna.

Come on over here.

I'm going to tell you something very private.

Back when we first moved to Beverly Hills,

um, I ran into a man that had once been very special to me,

but we had gone in different directions.

Anyway, seeing him again with my whole life changing,

the old spark flared between us.

You had an affair?

Almost.

Ultimately, I was lucky.

I didn't follow through on it.

But who knows, really?

But one thing I know absolutely for sure:

you don't stop loving your children.

Oh, honey,

you don't want to turn your back

on that kind of love.

You think you know where your life is headed

and you get off an elevator on the wrong floor, and bang!

Everything's different.

So, this is where the bull session is?

Tough news about Donna.

Yeah. I mean, it's so surreal.

I mean, this morning she was Donna.

And now she's Donna, but a completely different Donna.

Same Donna, more complicated world.

And she could probably use you two right about now

to help keep it simple.

Us? (chuckles)

Dad, we already feel like weirdoes

because you and Mom are still together.

My God, we really are square, aren't we?

We'll have to work on it.

Yeah, well, don't work too hard.

Oh, by the way, Steve's cousin

left her business card.

I'm a little late for work, Dad.

Brandon?

In two years, remind me to tell you

about my bachelor party.

I didn't hear you come home.

I understand that you're angry with me.

You have every right to be.

Don't you love Dad anymore, Mom?

Oh, of course, sweetheart.

I love your father very much.

I love you, too.

Then how could you?

(sighs)

Donna, this is hard for me, too.

What happened this afternoon...

is the worst nightmare I could ever imagine.

I feel like all of your faith in me has been destroyed.

It has.

And I feel like I've suddenly asked you

to grow up much too fast.

Mom, I am grown up.

I've been grown up.

Catching you with some guy

suddenly made me an adult.

It just hurt me.

(sobbing): It hurt me so much.

I know.

I know it did.

And I'm so sorry for that. You have no idea.

What's going to happen to our family?

Well, first of all, I'm gonna tell your father

about what happened this afternoon.

I would never ask you to keep this a secret.

Good, because I couldn't.

But most importantly,

I want you to understand...

you must understand,

that no matter what happens between your father and me,

it has absolutely nothing to do

with our love for you.

You...

you are the most precious thing

in the world

to both of us.

Can you trust me on this?

I guess.

Mom, please try and work things out, please?

(doorbell rings)

Uh, this is probably pretty lousy timing on my part,

but we came by to see if you wanted go hang out tonight.

Brenda and I are going to the Peach Pit to have some dessert.

(whispers): You need to be rescued.

Uh, thanks, David,

but I, uh, think I just feel

like hanging out alone tonight.

Do you mind?

Oh, no, no, that's no problem.

Uh, I'll just, I'll catch you

some other time then.

Why don't you go with them?

I don't know, you know?

It just doesn't seem right.

Go on.

You're lucky to have such great friends.

Go on, go out and be with them tonight.

Thank you.

I love you.

I know.

Thanks for coming, David.

Well, we figured you could probably use us.

Oh, yeah, can I?

I never knew what it was like

to have problems.

Well, welcome to the real world.

Yeah, well, if this is the real world,

you can have it.

All right, iced tea for the sis.

Isn't that my shirt?

No.

All right, fries extra crispy for the DJ boy

and one mint-chocolate- marshmallow-jellybean-

extravaganza sundae.

Are you sure, Donna?

Thank you. Okay.

Hello. Hey, Kel.

Kelly! Hi.

Did you go? How was it?

Yes, I went, but how are you?

Fine, fine! Tell us about the show.

Did they sound good? What did they sing?

Yeah, they were okay.

Um, I don't know the names of the songs.

Anyway, I was thinking about you.

You didn't have to.

Well, I wanted to think of a way to cheer you up.

Anyway, I met these guys

and they're really, really nice.

And they wanted to know where to get the best hamburgers

after the concert, so I invited them here.

They're waiting outside.

I'll just go get them.

She invited guys here to cheer her up?

( gasps) Oh, my God!

Donna, these are my friends, Kevin, Mark, Bryan and Sam.

Hello. How you doing?

Hey.

This is Brenda and Donna and Brandon.

What's up, guys?

What's up? How you doing?

Oh, and David Silver.

Thank you. How you doin'?

What's up, Dave?

So are all of you go to Beverly Hills High?

ALL: West Beverly.

So where are these famous burgers

everybody's talking about? I'm hungry?

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, my God, I can't believe they're here

and they're actually eating hamburgers!

Well, actually, I was going to make them sing for their supper.

It's standard operating procedure around here, guys.

Well, rules are rules.

Let's kick one.

Let's do it. Let's do it.

All righty?

Yeah, let's do it.
